Doesn't even make sense unless they thought that homosexuality was wrong and not equal to a heterosexual relationship.

They thought it was superior. Marriage was something for boring heterosexuals who want to raise a family to do.

Like Tom Daley and Nathan Geordie Shore who are bi, oh wait they have come out as gay. It's weird how bisexuals tend to end up with men. Jessie J now straight. I don't condone infidelity but I would love love to see so called bi guy cheat on his boyfriend /gay husband /civil male partner with a female mistress sidechic. Rather than the so called bi guy cheating on wife with a male.

Jessie used it to be trendy, Tom used it as a stepping stone (which isn't an issue, it's hard enough to admit that you're gay).

Genuine bisexual people exist but they are totally glossed over

I think that's a really interesting comment actually. Out of the self-described Bis I have known, and I say self-described because I think it was experimental rather than natural (to them) The boys have stuck with boys, but the girls have too...

I've seen that happen plenty of times. You tend to see it more when you have many bisexual friends.

I'm bisexual myself, which simply means I'm sexually attracted to both males and females. Not sure why some people find that so hard to comprehend, especially in the 21st Century...?

Just because Tom Daley came out as gay and Messie J was bisexual for publicity doesn't mean genuine bisexuals don't exist

I don't know why people think they can determine other people's sexuality. Being bisexual isn't the same as being gay

I don't think celebrities can be used as a good indicator tbh since a lot of them do and say the things they do to court publicity (and bisexuality is unfortunately used in that way a lot of the time).

I just think it's ignorance plain and simple to deny that bi-sexuals exist, there really isn't any excuse for it other than stupidity, sorry.

What point are you trying to make? Just because some celebrities claimed to be bisexual when they probably weren't doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It also doesn't have to be a 50/50 preference.

Not always the case but often true....I know gay guys who only play with straight guys and they say with guys they meet, straight means straight to bed usually.....they have wives and girlfriends at home and afternoon sessions with gay guys that their families know nothing about..and I know lots of guys who claimed to be bisexual for years and were even married in the past but now are as gay as you can be.
Young generation don't see it so much cause they live in a diff world but in the past it was common for gay guys to live double lives because they were gay and Biggins is from that generation so I understood his point of view.

Bisexuals ultimately are into men. The attraction to women is not genuine. I cringe when bi guys say they " love men......... Oh and women [ afterthought ]" I bet it's gay porn they rock off too, I bet the so called bi guys watching BB were more into seeing Lewis coŁk than Marnies boobs. Fair dues, just wish they'd admit they are gay and proudly take out their subscription to Manhunt, prowler, Grindr, Hot Boyz from Brazil etc and leave the fancying women stuff to experts ie straight men. :joker:

Can you not see that your view of bisexuality is entirely based on uninformed assumptions? You assume that a bi man's attraction to women is an afterthought, you think they 'rock off' only to gay porn, you bet they'd rather see Lewis' ****... I mean you don't actually know any of this stuff yet you're happy to conclude that a whole sexuality just doesn't exist :joker: It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so shamefully ignorant.

I'm not gonna say I really understand what Renee meant, but I'm not that mad at her because she just wasn't aware about the concept of bisexuality, since she doesn't have a huge knowledge of the LGBT community.

Biggins, however, was disgraceful. He should at least stick up for other members of his own community, rather than bringing them down.

...and also especially as he's older, rather than be any kind of 'excusing', Joey because of the more closed mind-sets back in the day compared to now....I wonder how many times (back in the day..).. either he or someone he knows would have had something like..'homosexuality, that's not a 'real' thing surely but some kind of choice..?..' thrown at them....just staggering that he could hold such a view of bi-sexuality....

Perhaps he has only met people that said they were bi but turned out to be gay, perhaps not wanting to come out. Not forgetting he has been around for a very long time and things were very different when it was all illegal.:shrug:
None of us have a clue to what he has experienced in his life or the people he has met down the years.
He was simply giving his personal opinion, hardly asking for their heads on a plate.

Fair dues, he's going up against his "community", along with the US agony Uncle Dan Savage, I'm beginning to see the so called LGBT community isn't one big happy family. I see plenty of gay guys who don't believe in transgender people, 'Drop the T'. Civil War is brewing in LGBT.

In my life, the majority of people I know that have come out as bi, have later come out as gay, so I can see why people would think that it's more of a 'stepping stone' sexuality, for people to test the waters with people's reactions to them liking the same gender, but to tar 100% of bisexual people with that brush is wrong.

In my OPINION he is wrong and ignorant and unlike Renee who isn't apart of the LGBT scene and doesn't understand it, he has no excuse for his ignorance.

It's not for old buffoons like him to dictate what is bisexuality or even gayness. He comes from a generation where it was acceptable among many repressed gay men to marry a woman and thereby ruin their own and their wife's life. Fortunately we live in more enlightened times. Whatever one calls oneself, they are obviously comfortable with that title. There is no "GLBT" Licence Board dictating how you must perceive yourself.

Marnie came out as bi to a great deal of media hype and fanfare, she even scored a cover of a lesbian mag Diva (Marnie became "famous" during the last days of lads mags and even she didn't get to be on their covers), so she gets all the publicity of saying she's bi ala Drew Barrymore and the others I've listed in this thread and surprise surprise she's now back on the coŁk diet

Women don't satisfy her like men, spoken like a straight lass. Well done Marnie great publicity coup from all the media bi coming out hype. A few more drunken snkgs with girls and she might cement her place as a TV reality fixture. I suspect she will not be bothering any vaginas ever again :laugh2:

Forgot to add to the bi now gay later list of men:
Duncan James from Boyband Blue came out as bi in a blaze of glory, -telling the world how hot and sexy men were and how sweet women were (not hot, not sexy, but sweet :laugh:, bless).

Frank Ocean came out as bi during Channel Orange era a few years back but is now quietly out as gay.

George Shelly ex Union J originally hinted he was bisexual but has now playing the don't label me card and become more coy and has been linked with a string of men. Got a feeling in 5years time there will still be no female partners on the scene. Just a hunch.

Olie Locke from Made In Chelsea came out bi about 2 years ago, everyone laughed at his supposed interest in women, he got very indignant when everyone shrugged and said he was actually gay. Women weren't interested. Fast forward 2 years, I think we all know what happened next. :laugh3:

This is where I differ from Biggins, whereas he sees bisexuals as being gays not fully out I see bisexuals as being g people into men but claiming to like women for nefarious reasons but as reasons womens reasons different to men.

Of course there are genuine bisexuals, as there is every shade on the sexuality scale. But the bi-celebs mostly fall into the experimental / fame-hungry, titillation variety imo.

What Winston said isn't true but it's his belief ....if he was against gay people or attacking them it would be wrong but he was only expressing his beliefs....like millions of other idiots he believes what the bible teaches and therefore that is his faith...he lives by the bible so believes it is a sin to be gay and a sin to have sex outside of marriage ....personally I would be happy to see every church burned to the ground but I respect that is his faith and he has to follow it.
I don't agree with women being second class and being made to live behind burkas but I have to respect that is the faith of some religions and therefore it's their truth. Winstons harsh delivery of his beliefs was expressed completely wrong which makes him a dip sh-t IMO but his choice to live by the bible is his right. I am gay but I choose to see it from his perspective and I understand it. Do I agree ? no, I don't but I understand his reasons.

Biggins is 67 years old....he didn't grow up in the world young people know today...his generation fought all the way to make that world a safer place for gay people today ..he remembers what it was like to be gay in the 60s when it was still illegal...he lived through the 80s when being gay was seen as a death sentence and it took courage to admit you were gay when everyone else around you hated your guts and was scared of you.
His remark about bisexuals comes directly from those experiences....in the past when a lot of gay guys were taking it up the aisle and pretending to play happy families, Biggins and many like him were fighting for equality so of course he doesn't respect the concept of bisexuality....even today a lot of gay men live straight lives and use gay guys for sex on the side.
That is his perspective and I can see how it would be. If he was 25 and saying that it would be totally odd but he's 67 and people should consider his age and the era he grew up in before judging him.

I think there is a lot of sense in what you say, he is also from an era where it wasn't discussed, certainly from an era where porn wasn't all over the internet and "lesbianism" wasn't something for guys to drool over. I do feel that in SOME cases bisexuality is used as a byword for experimentation, and also that an audience wants to see someone swinging both ways, though admittedly, again, that is for the girl on girl.

I also feel that exposure hasn't necessarily been a bad thing in that it has shown an acceptance of those that are bisexual...and I feel that the genuine bisexuals are those like Sam Fox who openly say that they fall in love with a person, not a gender.

Yes, experiment, why not? But unless you can see yourself in a long lasting, loving relationship with a member of either sex, without really minding which, please do not rush to label yourself as bisexual for the cool factor, when it's just experimentation, because it clouds the issue even more.

This from me, who doesn't think it's anyone else's business, let alone a topic for the media, what you like to do.

Biggins isn't some shut-away old man so being 67 isn't an excuse. He's taken part in enough Pride and LGBT events to be aware of Bisexuality and the modern world around him, and to adapt his views just like many other people from his era have, but he's obviously chosen not to. If he's going to chose to be prejudiced and ignorant then he's open to being criticised for it imo.

Given that you earlier asked me to prove an opinion, I don't think that you know the difference.

Biggins claimed that bisexuals were actually gay. How do you prove that wrong?

Because bisexual means being attracted to both genders whilst gay means being attracted to a single gender? The proof is in the definition of the words... Otherwise bisexuality would be called "stillabitintheclosestlity."

Biggins is wrong. He has an outdated view on sexuality. It's as simple as that:

If you are neither gay nor straight you must be confused and he probably views bi s as sickos looking for sex from what ever source is available and he isn't a sexually orientated gay.

I think there is a lot of sense in what you say, he is also from an era where it wasn't discussed, certainly from an era where porn wasn't all over the internet and "lesbianism" wasn't something for guys to drool over. I do feel that in SOME cases bisexuality is used as a byword for experimentation, and also that an audience wants to see someone swinging both ways, though admittedly, again, that is for the girl on girl.

I also feel that exposure hasn't necessarily been a bad thing in that it has shown an acceptance of those that are bisexual...and I feel that the genuine bisexuals are those like Sam Fox who openly say that they fall in love with a person, not a gender.

Yes, experiment, why not? But unless you can see yourself in a long lasting, loving relationship with a member of either sex, without really minding which, please do not rush to label yourself as bisexual for the cool factor, when it's just experimentation, because it clouds the issue even more.

This from me, who doesn't think it's anyone else's business, let alone a topic for the media, what you like to do.

My grandmother didn't like Germans and she had every right to her opinion because her experiences of them justified her prejudice.

It is illogical....It's intolerance but it comes from somewhere, it's not just mindless prejudice like racism....I think his views are formed because of a few reasons, none of which really exist today, which is why I think it's an age thing....I know when I was young bisexual was often thought of as another word for greedy :laugh: it wasn't really taken serously like it is today and it wasn't part of everyday life. But mostly bisexuals High tailed it back into the closet when the AIDS epidemic came along and that's where a lot of stigma towards them comes from in the older gay community.

Yes, and by saying that he's implying bisexuality isn't a real thing ergo does not exist. Since they're being dishonest about it?

Maybe try understanding the so-called "opinion" you're defending?

He accepts they exist. He knows there are people having sex with both genders. He just thinks that they exist for a different reason than you think they exist.

Do you believe he isn't entitled to that opinion?

It isn't an opinion though!!!!!!!! He's stating that bisexuals are all hiding from a desire to just sleep with the one gender which isn't what bisexual means!
He didn't say "I think that bisexuals are just afraid of being gay." He stated it as a fact. A fact which is completely and utterly wrong.

..I always think it's strange that it only seems to be prejudiced/bigoted views etc that seem to be held onto from 'back in the day'...with people who seem very 'modern' in their lives in every other way...Biggins is in his 60s or whatever age he is and apparently he can make such a generalised ignorant statement on a reality TV show and yet he's never had conversations/thoughts etc about bi-sexuality before..?..in all of these years, he hasn't once re-assessed his opinion and mind-set on this with the people around him..?..and in a showbiz world as well, where he surely must know and have met bi-sexual people..?...there have been no conversations that have taken place, no questioning, no 'educating' of the old Biggins..?..so the poor old chap finds himself on a reality show in his 60s or whatever age he is and poor old fellow makes such an ignorant statement that we're all discussing...?....hmmm, that's just really difficult to believe that he's expressed his own sexuality so much through his life and it's so much a part of him and yet there seems to have been an avoidance etc of discussion and realisation of bi-sexuality....hmmmm....

until you have lived your life in that persons shoes, I think its difficult to assess where he is coming from. Its the easiest thing in the world to take a comment and over analyse it. I've never really liked Biggins, but I do think he is being judged harshly here.

..and quite careless and non-thinking to throw out a comment in the way he did with no clarification at all because he of all people and for the very reason of his age will know and have experienced so many prejudices and lack of understanding..'ignorance' himself so will know the importance of making it perfectly clear that 'he himself in his whole life has never experienced..but that's only his personal experiences..'..?...but still though with that, he has closed his mind to a sexuality and for that he will be judged as he has judged...

..I understand what you're saying Cherie/what some are saying in the thread...(I was a Biggins fan, he's always seemed quite lovely..)...but "Bisexuals are people who don't want to admit to being gay".
..even if qualified with his own personal experiences of people he knows etc, would still be dismissing a sexuality in the way he has generalised it, no matter what the 'add ons' as it were...he's an intelligent person (or it would seem..)...so ignorance would seem unlikely but more prejudice/intolerance from someone who must have himself and 'of his time' especially, experienced so much 'denial' of homosexuality/any sexuality that did not conform to the 'norm' within society...

I will be interested to see if Emma questions him on it, and I hope she does so we can hear his views maybe he feels he is so well loved he can get away with remarks like that.. I was surprised at him in all honesty

Bi sexual a are not just straights not admitting to being gay. They could be gays not wanting to admit they are actually straight and only want to be gay to broaden their sexual availability.

I think its already been said by a few on here but unfortunately this attitude towards bisexuals by people like biggins is nothing new, or rare. Ironic and sad really. Its one of the big reasons the lbgt community have problems.

There is a difference between free speech and hate speech. As far as I'm concerned, what Biggins stated was nothing but hate. There may have been young bisexual men and women who were watching what he said and feeling even worse about themselves than they already do.

Let me say this, I have suffered depression from around the age of 13, mainly because of my sexuality. I was so confused. 'What am I?', I always thought to myself. 'How can I be attracted to both males and females? Something has to be wrong with me. I'm a freak. Okay, I'm probably just confused and need to figure out who I am'.

Fast forward to my 20's, and I was still feeling confused and weird because I am attracted to both males and females. This opinion of myself was formed through others' ignorance on the topic, from those who had been marinated in a toxicity and spitefulness because of some 'off' experience they may have had with someone. I took it on myself to do research about this topic. I found that there is something called a sexuality spectrum. Whilst there are many who are 100% gay or 100% straight; there are also many who fall on the spectrum anywhere in between. Someone can be 60% gay and 40% straight for example. A bisexual may be more attracted to one sex more than another - that doesn't mean they aren't bisexual.

If I, a bisexual male, get turned on by both males and females, what am I? Are you going to tell me that my feelings and instincts are wrong and a lie? Are you going to tell me that I'm disgusting?

When I was 19, I came out as gay as opposed to bisexual due to fear of being rejected by my own community. It was only a year ago that I built up the courage to admit to being bisexual to those around me. Ironically, my family found it harder to accept my bisexuality than me being gay. My current girlfriend doesn't mind and is very open-minded, so I'm very lucky there. I don't and have never slept around, which is a very common misconception of bisexuals. I have only ever slept with 3 people. I am very happy in my current relationship, and my gf knows that I would rather end our r/ship before I would ever even think about cheating on her. It doesn't even come into my mind.

I wish people would do research on a topic, especially when it's affecting their own community. There is a problem within the LGBTQ community with regards to gay people shunning bisexuals.

I am a bisexual and I am proud. My sexuality is normal and valid. If you can't get that through your very ignorant and misinformed brain, I feel sorry for you.

It was awful but there are a lot of gay men who think bisexuals aren't real or think bisexuality is a stepping stone to coming out as gay

Well it happens i.e Olly Locke and Sam from Towie- started off they were bi now they are out as gay.

Well I dont really like biggins - not my cup of tea - but he loves Samatha Fox and I must admit I really like her - she hasnt given her sexuality a label and Biggins hasnt as far as I am aware said or done anything to make her feel uncomfortable?

I think he has probably said something else - will have to wait until Sunday to know as I can only watch on catch up!

Wtf? :nono:

How ignorant can you be?

But isn't it true to some extent? I have yet to meet someone who didn't eventually become ''full'' gay http://i66.tinypic.com/2jfzyma.gif

But can Bernardo go in now then please
